On Saturday, Talkeetna musher Anja Radano finished her first Iditarod in 51st place out of 52 finishers.
Before this year’s race, Radano said her goal was to finish the race ahead of at least one competitor. At 11:00 am on Saturday, she accomplished that goal, finishing thirteen minutes ahead of Magnus Kaltenborn of Whitehorse. Kaltenborn earned this year’s Red Lantern Award for being the last musher to pass under the burled arch in Nome.
